Swipe Right or Left? A Guide for Online Dating
Dating apps are becoming more and more popular among singles who are looking for love, friendship, or casual fun. However, not all dating apps are created equal, and each one has its own features, advantages, and disadvantages. Let us discuss four of the most popular dating apps in North America: Hinge, Bumble, Coffee Meets Bagel, and Tinder. We will also share some tips and strategies on how to use them effectively to achieve your dating goals!
Hinge
Hinge is a dating app that claims to be “designed to be deleted”. It aims to help you find a serious and long-term relationship by connecting you with people who share your interests, values, and mutual friends. Unlike Tinder, Hinge does not rely on swiping left or right, but instead allows you to like or comment on specific aspects of someone’s profile, such as their photos, prompts, or answers. This way, you can start a meaningful conversation based on something you have in common.
Hinge is especially popular among elite circles, such as business school graduates, because its founder is also a Harvard Business School alum. Hinge also has a feature called “Most Compatible”, which uses a machine learning algorithm to suggest one person per day who is highly compatible with you based on your preferences and behavior.
